Getting a qualification doesn’t have to mean changing your lifestyle or where you live. If you can’t get to the classroom every day, you still have plenty of options to complete your course through online and distance education.

Each course is a unique mix of many different ingredients — from the subjects covered, to the student body, to the end career it leads to. You can use these points as a checklist of things that you need to find out about courses of interest.

The type of institution you choose will depend largely on whether you want to study a higher education course or a Vocational Education and Training (VET) course, but it will also be influenced by the style in which you would like your course to be taught.

A vast number of elements combine to make each institution unique. While none of them makes an institution better or worse overall, these differences can mean an institution is a good or bad choice for you.

Cable Jointer

Summary

Cable jointers make and repair joins in insulated power supply and control cables installed in underground pipes, trenches and overhead systems. They also prepare cable terminations for electrical equipment and overhead lines. Cable jointers also install and maintain underground electrical cables used to transmit and distribute electricity in city and country areas, new housing estates and industrial centres.

Duties & Tasks

Cable jointers may perform the following tasks:

pull electrical cables through underground pipes or conduits and join cables in transmission and distribution systems

ensure that conductors are correctly connected between sub-stations and customers' premises when installing and making repairs

assist with manufacturing and preparing cable jointing components

dig trenches and service pits or tunnels

encase cables in protective covers

work with other staff to install or replace cables.

Working Conditions

Cable jointers mainly work outdoors, sometimes in cramped and confined conditions or at heights. They often work in sub-stations, which reduce high-voltage electricity to lower levels for consumer use. They need to maintain good relations with property owners, tenants and authorities. Cable jointers often work as part of a team.
